Testimonials From Our Clients

”Dear Terry and the team,
I want to thank you all most sincerely for the wonderful way that you organised Ann's funeral.
From the moment that we contacted Terry after Ann passed away, we were treated with kindness and respect; you made the whole process as easy as possible, guiding me through the legal system and arranging the service and afternoon tea at The Midland with true professionalism.
Everyone commented on how smoothly the arrangements went, and remarked that it was a lovely tribute to Ann.
You certainly carried me through what could have been a stressful time; instead of stress, I had great confidence in you all.
Thank you all very much, and although I hope that I shall not need your services again too soon, I would never go anywhere else.

”A massive thank you to you, Terry and your team for your absolutely superb service in arranging my Uncles funeral. Your care, compassion, and attention to detail was absolutely outstanding and certainly gave him a beautiful and fitting send off. The fact he lived in Morecambe and we were in Manchester left us with many concerns about which funeral director to use. Thankfully, we chose extremely well with yourselves.
Once again, on behalf of me and my family, thank you so so much. We will be forever grateful.

”It is not fashionable nowadays to send a handwritten note of thanks but Alan and I consider that the excellent service that we received from you in arranging Malcolm's funeral for us last month deserves no less.

Your advice and reassurance throughout the process was a great help to us and your efficiency and professionalism in attending to all the necessary details was exemplary.

Every aspect of the funeral was exactly as we wanted it to be.

Once again many thanks

Gabrielle OldfieldSon of Deceased

”As a headteacher for 26 years sadly I have had to deal with death whether it be of parents, children or staff. However nothing prepares you personally for the death of a parent. When that happens you need to deal with a funeral service that you can easily communicate and cooperate with at any time on what can be a complex and stressful time. You also need to deal with people who care, compassionate and at all times remain calm when you just want the burial of a loved one to go well. In all these matters in regards the funeral of my dad, I found Terry Peel and Bare and Torrisholme Funeral Services to be absolutely exemplary. For this I am forever grateful and would recommend them without reservation.

Frank McCarron OBESon of deceased

”I wanted to write a quick letter thanking you - Terry and the team for the help and compassion you have shown myself and Jonathan's family during our recent bereavement. You helped me to get over the first hurdles of his unexpected death, guiding me expertly through the funeral process.
I know that Jonathan himself would have felt in good hands, thanks to our family's other recent experience with your company. It also felt comforting that you remembered and were able to talk on a personal level about Jonathan to me in our meetings together.
The congregation all commented on what a beautiful service it was. Nothing was too much trouble for you. You made an incredibly hard period of time for us all more bearable.
Many Thanks again to Terry and all at Bare Torrisholme Funeral Services.

”Firstly i would like to say if you need a caring passionate funeral director look no further than this one. Russell and the team are so caring you cannot go wrong, from the young lady in the office the assistants at the funeral every thing was perfect. I must admit i rang to find prices from other firms .we decided to use Bare &Torrisholme because from our first phone call which was answered by Russell i knew this was the company to go with for my mums funeral they are very good on price as well £1,750.00 cheaper than some quotes we had, no compramise on service what so ever highly recomended thanks to all of you your so kind.
